Black pro-life leader says abortion says abortion points to racism

...“Most blacks will agree that racism is sill very much alive, yet say nothing when abortion facilities are placed purposefully in minority and poor communities. This is no accident!”

“Abortion providers need us to make their blood money,” she said in her statement. “If we as black people say no to abortion, the industry will cease to exist.”

“We are the underground railroad of our time, and it's up to us to make abortion a thing of our historical past,” she said. “If we stand united against this horrific practice ... we shall overcome this, too.”

I was reading Fox News this morning the John Edwards/Blogger thing and read this:

Another Catholic group, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, issued a statement saying it was satisfied with Edwards' actions following the "religiously intolerant remarks."

"We accept Senator Edwards' assurances that he too was offended by comments made by recently hired staffers and that religious intolerance has no place in his campaign," said the group's executive director, Alexia Kelley, who added that since roughly one-fourth of the U.S. population is Catholic, Edwards can't take the religion's members for granted.

"We hope this unfortunate incident will initiate a deeper conversation on the part of all presidential candidates regarding the broad range of issues and values of primary importance to the Catholic community, including the Iraq War, a concern for the poor, human life and dignity, the availability of health care, and a commitment to the common good," Kelley said.

Mark Shea had something to say about Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good:

My reply:

Anything less than an immediate firing of these skirted Klansmen is a clear indication the Edwards is utterly unfit for the White House. Don't be whores for this dirtbag. Stop making excuses and demand that he get rid of these clownettes.

If you'd like to tell Mr. Jones what you think of Edward lame excuse-making for these bigettes, click here.

If you need the Spin vs. Substance Ammo to pound Mr. Jones in to facing reality, here it is.

Meanwhile, memorize the name: Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good is the first organization of Catholics to prostitute their faith completely in this election cycle for the sake of blow-dried ambulance chaser. It profits a man nothing to gain the whole *world* and lose his own soul. But for *Edwards*?

This is my mother back in the day...

An Ode to Coffee

My Gorbulas is like the only picky eater I have produced. He only likes cereal and peanut butter and jelly. Oh and meatballs. But they have to be my homemade meatballs, not the frozen ones from the supermarket I tried once because he says they "make him want to throw up". Fair enough. Mine are much better it's true.

If he were my first or only child (or both), I would probably spend my time worrying about his diet and cooking special foods around him. I would probably also assume with his history of colic, asthma, and now this that he has a peanut butter and most likely some sort of wheat allergy. However, I am too tired and busy to bother. So I cook what I like and when he sits there and whines, "I don't yike this" I say "too bad, eat it or go hungry".

I am not always a horrible mother though, and I try to accommodate him at times. So a few days ago I made him Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins for breakfast. We rarely do cereal because it is too expensive for the amount of people here, and not that filling considering. You can purchase flour, eggs, milk, and oats for nearly the same price as a big box of cereal, yet you will get a week's worth of more filling and nutritious meals. The problem is Gorbulas wakes up at the crack of dawn reciting the same monologue: "I want cereal, I want cereal", so the challenge is to preempt him with something besides cereal that he will eat.

When I saw the recipe, I cropped it up as "kid fodder". You know, food you feed kids but really have no desire to eat yourself like graham crackers, boxed macaroni and cheese, American processed cheese food that come in those individually wrapped slices, and plain Cheerios.

No, these muffins were much sexier than regular kids food. They were really good.
Matthew looked at them and said "I don't yike them."
"No, look, you will like these"
"Oh, they have jel-lee!"

The kids fought over them.

I need a second muffin pan because soon I will be making two batches of muffins in the morning.
